Did Lorde Just Tell Us The Title Of Her 'Hunger Games' Single?
Oh man, it feels like there are a thousand jabberjays about to burst out of my chest right now -- all speaking in my future true love's voice! Lorde's single for "Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1" is set to drop on September 29, if a cryptic Instagram photo she just posted is any indication. And its title? It looks to be "Yellow Flicker Beat."
The last time we had heart troubles due to a Lorde-spun mystery was when Ella posted lyrics to Instagram that we postulated came from the "Hunger Games" single -- Lorde is curating the entire soundtrack from the upcoming movie, as well as penning an original track. "I'm a princess cut from marble/ Smoother than a storm," the tune apparently goes. Pretty...mysterious.
Lorde doesn't exactly specify what's dropping come the end of the month in the snap -- but that photo does look suspiciously like single art -- so we'll be waiting with breath that is bated for September 29 to roll around. If you want someone to give it all a pre-listen, though, Ella, um... I volunteer as tribute!
